7/11

well, it's here.

DOING THE DEED.  DRIVING TO SAN JOSE.  NOT SINCE LAST DRIVING JURY DUTY.  I WAS SO NAIVE THEN.  NOT IN TOUCH WITH THE DEPTH OF CO-DEPENDENCY.  FIRMLY ENTRENCHED IN DENIAL.  SO FIRMLY ENTRENCHED I HAD NO IDEA I WAS STILL IN DENIAL.  LIVING IN A TRENCH YOU CAN SEE THE SKY AND DON'T REALIZE THERE'S ANOTHER LEVEL.

SO I'M TENTATIVE.  SMART TO BE.

I WENT.  I GOT THERE 4:30.  I CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT AND HAD CRISPY SHRIMP, VEGGIES, ASPARAGUS CAULIFLOWER, REAL CORN CHIPS, GUACAMOLE, RANCH DRESSING, LOTS OF CHEESE, REAL QUESADILLAS.  AND A SPRITE.

THEN I TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING LOT.  AARP ONLY VALIDATED $5 AND THE PARKING WAS 10.  FOR 2 HOURS.  I HAD TO GO TO THE CASHIER TO PAY THEN BACK TO MY CAR.  I HAVE TO RECONSIDER VOLUNTEERING.

WHOA!1
